VSYRINGE AND AToMlzER.

srncrricArIoN forming part of Letters Patent No. 617,245, dated January e, 1899.

Application 'filed J'une 16, 1898.

-To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be itknown that I, EDWARD A. FRANKLIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Austin-J in the county of Travis and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Syringe and Atomizer, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to syringes, and particularly to a sprayer and atomizer adapted for use in connection with horticultural pursuits, but also designed for other analogous uses.

Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear in the following description, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed outin the appended claims.

Figure l is a perspective view of an apparatus constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a partial sectional view of the same.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures of the drawings. Y

1 designates a receptacle or reservoir preferably constructed and provided with such attachments as to adapt it to be slung from the shoulders of the operator in a manner similar to a canteen, and in the wall of the vessel is an opening surrounded by an exteriorly-threaded collar 2, upon which is removably iitted a cap 3. Carried by the cap is a liquid-outlet tube 4, which preferably extends to a point near the bottom of the vessel and is carried beyond the cap a sufficient distance to form a nipple 5. Also carried by the cap is an inlet-tube 6, of which the outer portion beyond the cap forms a nipple 7. The inlet and outlet tubes are preferably located in contiguity, and attached to the latter is a clip 8, having a seat 9, in which is fitted one edge of a valve-disk 10, preferably of flexible material, such as leather. Also secured tothe outlet-tube is a stop-arm 11, bent outwardly to span the open end of the inlet-tube and form a stop 12, the valve-disk being interposed between said stop and the end of the inlettube. Obviously the inlet-tube terminates short of the surface of the liquid contents of the receptacle, whereby when-air or similar fluid is forced through the inlet-tube by any Serial No. 683,615. (No model.)

suitable pu mp mechanism pressure is applied to the surface of the liquid contents and the latter pass through the outlet-tube to the point of application. In the construction illustrated the pump mechanism consists of a valved compressible bulb 13, of which the tube 14 is fitted upon the nipple of the inlet-tube, and fitted upon the other nipple is a service-tube 15, with which may be connected a dischargenozzle of the construction desired, according to whether the stream of liquid discharged therefrom is to be sprayed or not. Also formed in the wall of the receptacle at a point con.

tiguous to that above described is an opening fitted with an interiorly-threaded collar 16, and threaded in this collar is a union plug 17, having a tube or nipple 18, which is in communication with the interior of the receptacle. Fitted upon this nipple is aservicetube 19, and the two service-tubes are provided with a connected nozzle 20, having independent tubular portions 20 and 20", terminating in respectively longitudinal and lateral discharge-orifices, the tube having the lateral orifice being in communication With the service-tube which is connected with the outlet-tube to convey liquid from the interior of the receptacle, and thetube having the longitudinal discharge-orifice being in communication with the service tube which is attached to the nipple on the plug 17 to con- Vey air from the interior of the receptacle. Hence when the pumping'apparatus is operated to compress air in the receptacle above the surface of the liquid the `liquid discharged at the nozzle is atomized.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that the construction is compact and that the service-tubes, as well as the inlet and outlet tubes, may be readily disconnected and exposed for cleansing and that the valve whereby the escape of fluid-pressure from the interior of the receptacle is prevented is located exteriorly of any tube or casing, and hence may be kept in an operative condition. The moistening of said valve may be accomplished by turning the receptacle sufliciently to cause the liquid contents thereof to come in contact with the valve.

Various changes in the form, proportion,

and the minor details of construction may be i resorted to Without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

I-Iaving described my invention, what I claim is* 1. A syringe having a receptacle provided with a removable cap, an outlet-tube and a pressure inlet-tube carried by said cap and removable therewith from the receptacle, a clip attached to the outlet-tube and having a seat adjacent to the discharge end of the pressure inlet-tube, a flexible valve-disk secured at one edge in said seat of the clip, and spanning said discharge end of the inlet-tube, and a stop carried by the clip in the path of the unseating movement of the valve-disk, substantially as specified.

2. A syringe, having a receptacle provided With an opening, a cap removably disposed to close said opening, an inlet-tube carried by the cap and terminating Within the lreceptacle at a point contiguous to the cap, an outlet-tube also carried by the cap and extending to a point adjacent to the bottom of the receptacle, said inlet and outlet tubes being extended outwardly beyond the cap to form nipples for the attachment of tubes, service and pressure conveying-tubes being adapted for engagement, respectively, With said nipples, a clip attached to the outlet-tube and having a seat, a flexible valve-disk secured at one edge in said seat of the clip and occu^ pying a position contiguous to the plane of the discharge end of the inlet-tube, and a holding-arm also secured to said outlet-tube and provided with a stop arranged contiguous to that surface of the valve-disk which is remote from the end of the inlet-tube, to limit the unseating movement of the valve-disk, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.

EDVARD A. FRANKLIN.
